Xubuntu pre-install questions

[Walter Dnes]

  My main machine is an AMD running Gentoo. My 1999 Dell 450mhz, PIII,
with 128 megs of ram isn't being used for much now, so I figure I'll
give Xubuntu a test drive.  The harddrive is 41 gigs.  I intend to wipe
it and install fresh.  My current "three partitions" strategy is...

- 10 gigs for /
- a swap partition
- the rest is /home.  Any odds-and-ends that don't belong to a specific
  account go into /home/misc

  My questions are...
  1) What is the recommended size for /, assuming I install "the works"?
  2) What is the recommended size for the swap partition?
  3) What is the recommended filesystem? (ext3fs, reiserfs, whatever)

  Any helpful pre-install hints would be appreciated.
